Job description

About VIA HealthTech VIA turns a therapy session into a finished session note, and session notes into a complete psychological report. That is work which used to cost therapists hours every week. We are the market leading AI assistant for psychotherapists. Over 4,000 psychotherapists across the DACH region use VIA every day, and we process hundreds of thousands of sessions per month.

Briefing with the hiring founder, the job ad, sourcing, screening, interview loops, references, offer, close. You are the first conversation a candidate has with VIA, and the one who gets them over the line Sourcing that does not wait for applications. The people we want are rarely looking. Outbound on LinkedIn and beyond, our network, the places where therapists, engineers and salespeople actually are. We use agencies today. After you, we do not The bar.
